With looking at the code I have idea what could be the problem.

Could by chance try the following experiment:
1. find configure.py of your lyx installation
2. find string "LaTeX (plain)" there and replace it by "LaTeX .plain.", save file
3. reconfigure lyx
4. try whether import starts showing .tex files

This would not be proper fix, but we just check possible culprit.
